Dear Colleague

The LISA '04 program committee invites you to contribute your ideas, papers, 
and proposals for the technical session's refereed papers track, invited talks, 
panels, Guru Is In sessions and Work-in-Progress reports.

The Call for Participation with submission guidelines and sample topics is now 
available on the USENIX Web site at http://www.usenix.org/lisa04/cfpa

The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system, network, 
database, and other computing administrators. Administrators of all specialties 
and levels of expertise meet at LISA to exchange ideas, sharpen skills, learn 
new techniques, debate current issues, and meet colleagues and friends.

People representing every work assignment, from the full-time position at a 
large site to the part-time one at a small shop, come to LISA from over 30 
countries, bringing divergent backgrounds and experience levels to the 
conference dedicated to them. System and network administrators from 
environments as diverse as academia, large corporations and small businesses, 
government organizations, and research sites find LISA to be The Place to go 
for training, education, networking, and interacting with their peers.

The conference's diverse group of participants is matched by an equally broad 
spectrum of activities:

* Training sessions for both beginners and experienced attendees cover many 
administrative topics, ranging from basic administrative procedures to using 
cutting-edge technologies.

* Technical sessions present the latest developments and ideas related to 
system and network administration.

* Invited talks and panels discuss important and timely topics and often spark 
lively debates and conversation.

* Work-in-progress reports (WiPs) provide brief peeks at next year's 
innovations.

GET INVOLVED!
* Submit an extended abstract for a refereed paper.
* Suggest an invited talk speaker or a panel discussion topic.
* Share your experience by leading a Guru Is In session.
* Propose a tutorial topic.
* Organize or suggest a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session.
